Yankees predicted to bring power-hitting young catcher to New York
The New York Yankees have a lot of catching options already. In fact, the organization has become something of a catcher factory the last few years. New York has Austin Wells, J.C. Escarra, and Ben Rice on what's suddenly become a crowded depth chart. They've also lost Luis Torrens, Jose Trevino, Ben Rortvedt, Carlos Narváez, Gary Sanchez, and Kyle Higashioka to decent roles with other organizations. One might think the Yankees taking a catcher with their first draft pick this summer would be a foolish move, but in Major League Baseball, you don't draft on need. Prospects can become anything during their time in the minors, and if the Yankees see a catcher they think can be a game-changer, they'll grab him. One ESPN draft analyst believes they'll do just that. In a recent mock draft, ESPN's Kiley McDaniel predicted that the Yankees would select Hauppauge H.S. (NY) catcher Michael Oliveto with the 39th overall pick in the Jul. 13 amateur draft. "Oliveto is a local pick who played high school ball on Long Island and a late riser. Nobody in baseball knew his name until a standout event last fall, but he ended up choosing Yale over some blue-blood programs," McDaniel wrote. Follow The Sporting News On WhatsApp "He didn't face much top-end competition this spring, but a handful of teams saw a pretty swing with 65-grade power, which Oliveto put on display at the combine... Who was the last lefty-hitting high schooler from a cold weather state with that sort of profile who went around here in the draft? Jackson Merrill." Oliveto has a sweet left-handed swing, and at 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, he's got a good frame with more filling out to do. All of the Yankees' current catchers bat lefty, so they clearly have a type. With only 11 days until the draft, we'll soon find out if the Yankees' thinking matches McDaniel's.

Yankees' trade targets include 5 Pittsburgh Pirates players
The New York Yankees have plenty of needs heading toward the MLB trade deadline. The Pittsburgh Pirates happen to have a chance to fill a number of those. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Yankees are keeping a close eye on Pittsburgh for five players. Those five potential helpers: Ke'Bryan Hayes David Bednar Mitch Keller Dennis Santana Isiah Kiner-Falefa Hayes would be the guy to fill the third base need. The Yankees seemingly would prefer Arizona's Eugenio Suarez, or maybe Colorado's Ryan McMahon. But the talented fielder Hayes would still be an upgrade at the hot corner. MORE: Former Yankees, Astros slugger reaches 500 career home runs far from home Bednar and Santana are both hard-throwing righty relievers. Keller is an uber-talented righty starter who could be good in the Bronx for years to come. IKF is a former Yankees utility guy who could fill whatever need there is on a given day. It's unlikely the Yanks get all of these guys, but given all these links, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Pirates and Yankees get at least one deal done.

Yankees broadcaster Anthony Kay admits ‘it's not mirrors,' the Blue Jays are really good
Michael Kay didn't mean to upset you. The New York Yankees broadcaster sparked a firestorm earlier this month with comments on his radio show, saying, among other things, that the Blue Jays 'are not a first-place team' and were 'not playing great baseball.' Speaking to the Star from the visitors' TV booth at the Rogers Centre before Tuesday's game, the veteran play-by-play caller insisted his words had been misinterpreted. 'Maybe I articulated it poorly,' Kay said, 'but I was talking about run differential, where they have exceeded their run differential. And in the same sentence, I said the Yankees' run differential is much better and they have underperformed.' Last time the Bronx Bombers swung by, a Blue Jays sweep started a 10-game home win streak. The He was right on both counts. When the comments were made after the Jays' 12-5 Canada Day wi n over the Yankees drew them to within a game of first place, the Jays had scored just four more runs than they had allowed. The Yanks were 105 runs to the good. Kay insists it wasn't a dig at the Jays. 'I was complimenting them, that they're exceeding what the numbers say,' said Kay, who has called Yankees' games on the YES Network since 2002 and was the team's radio broadcaster, along with John Sterling, for a decade before that. 'I mean, they're an extraordinarily well-put-together team . Great bench, a lot of moves for (John Schneider) to make. They play hard, they don't strike out and they're proving a lot of people wrong.' While Kay believes that what he said was right, just taken the wrong way, he still wanted to clear the air with Jays manager John Schneider, so he got bench coach Don Mattingly, a Yankee legend, to broker a meeting. 'I just reached out to Donnie, I said, 'Can you tell Schneider what I meant?' and then Donnie actually told Schneider and Schneider contacted me,' Kay said. 'We had a text exchange and he said, 'I totally understand, you don't have to clarify anything, I know exactly what you mean.' 'People don't want to believe it, they think I'm backtracking when I'm not.' The Jays lead the AL East by four over the Bronx Bombers at the 100-game mark, and are just a Kay is right when he said he didn't articulate his point well. When he said 'the Blue Jays are not a first-place team, I'm sorry,' he paused before moving on to 'if you look at run differential …' It was easy to interpret that as two separate thoughts, though he insists making the point about run differential was the only thing he was trying to do. And when he said it, the Jays were a game behind the Yankees. But he went on to say 'they're not playing great baseball — I'm sorry, they're not,' about a team that, at the time, had won 21 of its last 31 games , the second-best record in the major leagues over that span. They have won 12 of 16 since then. 'I think I might have said they're not playing that great because I was looking at the numbers and I probably didn't articulate it the way I should have,' Kay said. 'They were playing better than you would think they were playing when you looked at their numbers.' The Jays have won Kay over. 'It's not mirrors, they're really good,' the 64-year-old said. ' They play really well and they play smart, they play hard and there's something to be said for that. And I think that's something that numbers don't capture.' Kay believes there's a reason the Jays have dominated the Yankees lately. 'The Blue Jays don't strike out, so they put the ball in play,' he said. 'And you're making the Yankees make plays and, in these five games so far, they have not made plays.' That continued Tuesday, as New York shortstop Anthony Volpe's throwing error opened the door to a game-tying, two-run rally in the sixth inning. The Jays could not score again and wound up falling 5-4, so they remain half a game behind the Detroit Tigers for the best record in the American League — despite the league's seventh-best run differential.
